that doesn't seem unfortunate at all.

more than likely it was the two emails in the gmail app

There's just the slightest tinge of brown at the top, therefore it is ruined by being too well done

I guess it is true: You either die a hero, or live long enough to become shitty.

Because underpaid is better than starving to death

That's immediately what came to mind when I saw it

The couple of times I have decided to switch to Plasma I somehow get pulled back to GNOME. Like, I tried out earlier Plasma 5 on my system76 laptop and then s76 announced Pop!_OS. Then I tried again when I came across Nitrux which was essentially a heavily customized Plasma. Then I got a Librem 5 which uses phosh, based on GNOME.

I really liked it though, and have thought about trying Plasma Mobile.

A friend of mine in college pirated a japanese show which included the ads. The first episode seemed to have subs with legitimate translations. The rest of the season the subtitle author had fun and changed them to make fun of the ads. It was pretty funny.

There were no quizzes though...

It's cool you got to try out plasma mobile! I haven't had the chance to try it myself, but I have been using phosh which works well too.

I appreciate this post. I think you are right that those of us who value privacy and try to take steps to minimize eventually having those moments of having to step back and reassess our threat model.

Every now and then I ask myself why I resist the duopoly of Apple and Google, and the answer is because I value a third option. Like you mentioned in your post it may seem bleak now, but it might not always be this way. And if we ever do reach a more privacy conscious society, it was because all of us in the privacy community kept the flame going by supporting and using that more privacy focused third option.

That looks cool!

I came across this website that focuses on highlighting books that are out if print but still worthy of reading, if you can find them. The most recent post (Feb. 29 2024) talks about the various reasons books become neglected.

 

Mathematically they're equivalent, but the feelings could not be further apart.

 

This book was compelling to read not because of any sense of mystery, of which there is some, but because I wanted to learn more about what the characters were thinking as the author cycled through all their different perspectives.

 

This part of the article was the really infuriating part to me:

"In fact, his research shows that by square footage, there is more housing for each car in this country than there is housing for each person. In 2016, Bloomberg reported that there were more three-car garages being built than one-bedroom apartments."

 

It is a good read for those that enjoy young adult novels with a good balance of comedy, drama, and discussing some heavy subjects.
